This work is an installation aimed at witnessing a place where awe is dismantled.

In the cave of the mining site, I made a sculpture using 4 huge super organza with a height of 13 meters and a width of 8 meters. A real-time fluid simulation using 8K high brightness projector is projected on its surface. Its appearance seems to be a gigantic creature that extends the tentacles. People are surprised, afraid, and stand up to its huge and irregular shapes.

However, after a few minutes, the attitude of the viewer changes by artist explaining "This work is only visualizing the wind". "The pattern projected on the cloth is a vector field of wind blowing on the spot, and this work is visualizing the wind itself with cloth movement and 8K video." Such a scientific explanation is made by the artist. Then, people understand it as a physical phenomenon, and conversion from the sense of awe to the impression "indeed" "interesting" “beautiful” begins.

But there is no sense of irregular feeling that people first felt, or feeling of awe. It was dismantled by scientific explanation. The lump of sensation with infinite possibilities people first sensed is scattered and can not be regained again. When we face unknown or irregular things, we fear them. However, once we feel "understood" by scientific explanation, they can be caught only as a scientific symbol.

As a technical aspect, this work aims to realize CG animation in physical space. The wind blowing on the spot is physically animated using the shape of the fluid cloth and the simulation image projected on it. By acquiring the shape of the organza with cameras and analyzing its curved surface shape in a trihedral view, numerical analysis is performed on the flow of the wind on the spot, and a vector field is generated inversely. In this calculation process, data of the micro controller for the electric fan is also used. The vector field generated here is projected to a 4-layer cloth through an 8K projector, and a vector field with immersive feeling with volume is generated.
